Electric powered Aircraft
Since two years PC-Aero invest a main part of its design capability in the future technology of Electric powered Aircraft.
„Using the existent technology it is possible to fly with a one- and a two-seat aircraft without CO2-emission for more than 3 hours, without noise and for lower operation costs in comparison with classic aircrafts. This is the future of leisure aviation as a bridge to the next step: electric transportation”, says Calin Gologan, president PC-Aero.
What do we expect from the electric mobility in the air ?
- environmental protection through elimination of CO2-emissions
- low noise
- long range
- low operating costs
- security
Advantages:
- more than three hours flight time
- over 400 km range
- cruise at 160 km/h
- CO2-emission zero in conjunction with a Solar Hangar
- very low noise level (propeller speed for cruising at 1400 RPM)
- operating costs below 35 €/hour and 0.2 €/km
- a total system (aircraft + hangar + power) for less than 100,000 €
- very easy and safe to fly
- attractive design
